NACC 200 NOTABLES:
1] Wet Leg enjoys a seventh straight week at #1 this week with moisturizer and now has bragging rights for the longest run atop the NACC 200 this year all to themselves. They tied their debut self-titled album, which also spent seven weeks at #1. They are the only act to have two albums stay at #1 this long, with only six other albums ever having done it. Their 14 cumulative weeks on top ties them with Soccer Mommy and Jeff Tweedy (solo and Wilco work combined) for third place on the all-time leaderboard. Only Arlo Parks (15) and Mitski (16) have more.
Their eighth week atop NACC NEXT and Non-Comm also marks the longest runs at the top of those charts in 2025. The last artists to spend eight weeks at #1 there were Alvvays at NEXT in 2022 and Arlo Parks at Non-Comm in 2021.
2] Making the biggest climb into the NACC Top 10 this week is last week’s most-added album from Canadian musician Mac Demarco. His sixth LP, Guitar, explodes into the top tier, rising 57-6 to give him his second Top 10-appearing album. His third studio album, This Old Dog, topped the NACC 200 back in 2017.
3] Honorable mention also goes to Nigerian-born, Canada-raised electronic musician Debby Friday. She too reaches the Top 10, rising 11-9, to score her first NACC 200 Top 10 with her sophomore album, The Starr Of The Queen Of Life (which tops NACC Canadian for a second week this week as well). It follows her Polaris Music Prize-winning 2023 debut, Good Luck.
4] The Beths have one of the Top 5 highest debuts of 2025 and simultaneously claim this week’s most-added album with their fourth LP, Straight Line Was A Lie. This mirrors their second album’s success, though this week’s #11 debut and 79 Top 10 Adds surpass the debut position and Top 10 Adds that record achieved. With their previous two albums both reaching #1, expectations are high, and The Beths look well on their way to meeting them.
5] Beloved Chapel Hill quartet Superchunk have returned with their 13th LP, Songs In The Key Of Yikes. The band first formed in 1989 and boasts two original members (along with a third that joined just a year later). They soar 152-24 this week on the NACC 200 (the second time they’ve enjoyed the biggest climb on the chart) and are in search of their third straight Top 10-peaking album on the NACC 200.
GENRE CHART HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK
– Big Thief becomes the first act this year to produce two #1s on the NACC Singles Chart. They were #1 just three weeks ago with “Incomprehensible,” which also spent a week at #1 in June. Now their double single “Grandmother” b/w “Los Angeles” climbs 4-1. This will be the only week the songs spend on top as the album that houses these chart-topping singles, Double Infinity, comes out on Friday.
– Just in time for the calendar flipping to fall and, for some especially eager Halloween lovers, the kickoff to the spooky season, comes German power metal band Helloween with their seventeenth studio album, Giants & Monsters, soaring 24-1 at NACC Heavy. The seven-piece still includes three of its four original members, dating back to 1984.
– The NACC Latin Chart becomes the first NACC Chart in 2025 to produce more #1s than it did last year. With Buscabella rising from 6-1 with Se Amaba Así, the chart sees its 14th chart topper. In 2024, there were 13 total for the entire year.
